Petition is addressed to: Eiscat Ab

We, the undersigned, strongly support the continued operation of current and potential future EISCAT Heating facilities near Tromsø, Norway. EISCAT Heating has been a cornerstone of the EISCAT facilities enabling novel and exceptional research. It accounts for about 20% of all EISCAT-related publications.

We kindly request EISCAT AB to recognise the importance of Heating research and facilitate this important work also in the future.

Your signature signifies the shared recognition of the value and commitment to the future of EISCAT Heating. Please show your support by signing below.

Reason

Ionospheric heating is a crucial capability of EISCAT, and Heating-related research will be of particular importance combined with the new EISCAT_3D radar. It is therefore essential to continue this ground-based space research to investigate the ionosphere and upper atmosphere.

Thank you for your support, The Heating Workgroup, Tromsø
